By
selecting energy saving lighting, light bulbs, and particularly,
ENERGY STAR® qualified lighting,
you will be working toward reducing your energy bills and
significantly reducing greenhouse gases into our air.
Each of us has a responsibility to protect
our environment. We have the power, too. Just by purchasing
something as simple as an ENERGY STAR® qualified light
fixture by Sea Gull Lighting, businesses, organizations
and consumers can play an important role in reducing greenhouse
gas emissions and protecting our environment for future
generations.
ENERGY
STAR® qualified light bulbs
and lighting fixtures generally use pin-based light bulbs,
which do not screw into the socket, are brighter and have
the added benefit of longer lamp life. The pin-based light
bulbs that come with ENERGY STAR® qualified fixtures
are made and tested to last for 10,000 hours, as compared
to 6,000 hours for screw-in light bulbs.

ENERGY
STAR® qualified light bulbs and lighting fixtures
use up to 75% less energy than standard lighting
products. |
| |
|
|
90%
of the energy expended by an incandecent light
bulb is wasted as heat. Only 10% of the energy
(electricity) that passes through is converted
into visible light. ENERGY STAR® qualified
lighing fixtures use less energy, provide the
same light output, and are cooler to the touch. |

|
|
An
ENERGY STAR® qualified light bulb that is
used for an average of 4 hours per day will last
for more than 4 years before it needs to be changed. |
| |
|
|
A
typical household spends about $90 per year, or
10% to 15% of its annual electric bill, on lighting. |
| |
|
|
ENERGY
STAR® qualified lighting fixtures come in
hundreds of popular styles to suit your home,
office, or commercial property. Available lighting
fixtures include chandeliers,
pendants, wall
mounted sconces and bath
fixtures, ceiling
lights, under
cabinet lights, outdoor
lights, and recessed
lighting, to name a few categories. |
